793. We Have to Unleash Our Potential / 794. A White Light Shield

Damn it! You actually destroyed my Pitch-black Flames?! I won’t let you get away with this!

He opened his mouth and spat out a mass of dark energy, blasting it toward Izayoi.

"Hmph, you think that little bit of skill is enough to kill me?"

Izayoi’s body suddenly vanished from where he stood. The Dark Dragon’s attack missed, but it did not give up.

His figure reappeared beside the Dark Dragon, a smug expression rising on his face.

"You stinking dragon, now that you no longer have your Pitch-black Flames, hurry up and fight me with your body!"

Then he unleashed countless sword energies, stabbing them toward the Dark Dragon.

Not good!

The Dark Dragon knew that its Pitch-black Flames had indeed been destroyed, and its body had already been wounded by those sword energies. Now, all it could do was evade—but how could its speed compare to Izayoi’s sword energy?

"Ah! You despicable human brat!"

The Dark Dragon let out an enraged roar as it desperately dodged Izayoi’s sword energies. Its heart was filled with fury and unwillingness.

"Hahaha, how about that? Now you know how powerful I am, right? I advise you to surrender obediently. Without the protection of your Pitch-black Flames, you’ve already lost. You have no chance of beating me!"

Izayoi laughed wildly as he taunted the Dark Dragon. His voice carried immense confidence, as though victory was already in his grasp.

Hearing Izayoi’s words, the Dark Dragon was filled with hatred. It roared furiously, "Damn human, I will never lose to you. Never!"

"Is that so? I’ll be waiting to see it!"

After saying that, Izayoi continued firing streams of sword energy at the Dark Dragon. The Dark Dragon had already suffered severe internal injuries, and its speed had slowed considerably.

With a squelch, one of Izayoi’s sword energies pierced through the Dark Dragon’s body. It immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, its face turning pale.

The Dark Dragon looked at the wound on its chest, and its expression grew uglier and uglier. That was its weakest point. Once it was injured there, its body would be unable to recover.

"Ah! Damn human, I won’t let you go! You will definitely die by my hand! You will definitely die by my hand!"

The Dark Dragon roared loudly, but Izayoi ignored it and slashed off one of its wings. The Dark Dragon was furious, and its body kept growing larger along with its roars.

Awakening Potential

Izayoi watched the Dark Dragon before him grow in size, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. It seemed that danger was about to arrive. Izayoi pointed at the Dark Dragon and mocked it.

"You think growing bigger makes you my opponent? You stinking dragon, let me show you how powerful my swordsmanship is!"

His figure turned into a streak of light and charged toward the Dark Dragon at high speed. The Dark Dragon snorted coldly and swiped at him with a claw.

The claw carried tremendous force, directly sending him flying before he crashed heavily onto the ground.

After Izayoi was sent flying, he did not fall. Instead, he stood up.

He dusted off his clothes, looking utterly relaxed.

"You really think I only have that much strength?" Izayoi sneered.

"You think I can’t beat you just because you’ve grown bigger? Let me tell you, you’re wrong. This is only the beginning!"

His words were full of disdain and contempt, and Izayoi understood what he meant.

"In that case, I’d like to see what other tricks you have!" Izayoi said.

Upon hearing Izayoi’s words, the Dark Dragon roared. Its massive body grew several times larger again, its eyes turned red, and the skin all over its body also became crimson.

It looked exceptionally ferocious and terrifying. Izayoi noticed the change, but he did not take it seriously, still wearing a contemptuous expression.

"Your transformation is only this little? You think that’s enough to defeat me?" Izayoi snorted. "What a joke. Let me tell you something."

"My swordsmanship has reached an extremely profound realm. Although your transformation has made you larger, it is still useless. My swordsmanship can still defeat you!"

The Dark Dragon snorted after hearing Izayoi’s words. "Brat, what comes next is my true strength. Just wait and see."

A massive storm erupted from the Dark Dragon’s mouth. Izayoi was greatly shocked when he saw it. No wonder this stinking dragon was so arrogant. It has such a powerful ultimate move!

The storm was simply too powerful. It made Izayoi’s clothes flap wildly, sent his hair flying, and twisted his features.

It made his body feel as though it might topple over at any moment. At the sight of the raging wind, fear rose in Izayoi’s heart, but he quickly calmed down.

"Brat, let’s see if you can withstand this move. This is my strongest killing move. You can’t take it! Hahahaha!" the Dark Dragon laughed arrogantly.

Izayoi did not get angry after hearing that. He stared coldly at the Dark Dragon and said, "This move, is it? Whether I can take it or not, won’t we find out by trying?"

After saying that, Izayoi directly raised his sword and slashed.

A white sword aura burst from the blade and shot straight toward the Dark Dragon. Seeing this, the Dark Dragon snorted. "Hmph! Such a petty trick, and you dare show it off before me!"

The Dark Dragon reached out with a claw and directly grabbed the white sword aura.

The white sword aura collided with the sword aura seized by the Dark Dragon, erupting in a dazzling white radiance. Izayoi was stunned by the sight.

He had not expected the Dark Dragon to withstand his attack and even neutralize it.

"This Dark Dragon truly is extraordinary. As expected of the Dragon Clan!" Izayoi did not think too much about it. He continued unleashing his swordsmanship and attacking frantically.

Shield of White Light

Izayoi knew that he could not even break through the Dark Dragon’s defenses. If he truly wanted to injure it, he had to awaken his potential. A trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes, but it quickly turned into resolve.

"You stinking dragon, let me show you my true potential."

An overwhelming surge of energy swept out from his body. When the Dark Dragon saw this energy, it revealed a shocked expression.

"Human brat, I didn’t expect you to have such a move. Fine, I have to admit that you are a powerful opponent."

Izayoi snorted coldly. His figure suddenly vanished, then abruptly appeared before the Dark Dragon. The sword in his hand swung fiercely.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and dense cracks had already appeared across the Dark Dragon’s scales. Drops of blood seeped from those cracks.

"What is going on? How is this brat so fast?!"

The Dark Dragon’s eyes were filled with shock because it discovered that Izayoi’s speed had increased many times over.

"My strength has improved greatly from before. You should understand that."

Izayoi sneered at the Dark Dragon.

"I never expected you to break through my defenses, but don’t get too smug. Although your strength has improved considerably, it is still not enough to make me fear you."

After saying that, the Dark Dragon charged at Izayoi.

Izayoi’s expression was solemn. He knew that he was still no match for the Dark Dragon, so he had to end the battle as quickly as possible. Otherwise, death would be waiting for him.

Izayoi used the Nine Palaces Footwork to evade the Dark Dragon’s attacks.

While dodging, Izayoi counterattacked with his own offensive moves.

Every attack from Izayoi carried powerful wind pressure, forcing the Dark Dragon to use its defenses. Its claws constantly swept through the air, trying to block the wind pressure.

While fighting the Dark Dragon, Izayoi observed its movements.

Suddenly, red light appeared around the Dark Dragon’s body. It was clear that this red light had greatly increased the Dark Dragon’s strength.

Izayoi was greatly alarmed when he saw it. What is that?

"This is my Dragon race talent, Dragon’s might. It can help me increase my combat power…"

The Dark Dragon looked at Izayoi smugly as it spoke.

Upon hearing the Dark Dragon’s words, Izayoi was immediately enraged. So this Dark Dragon was actually this powerful—no wonder it possessed such tremendous attack power.

"Hmph, you forced my hand. Since you aren’t afraid of death, then I’ll send you to it."

After saying that, Izayoi raised his sword and thrust it toward the Dark Dragon.

The Dark Dragon also shouted loudly, raising its claw to meet Izayoi’s sword. With a loud clang—

The sword collided with the Dark Dragon’s claw, sending the Dark Dragon back several steps. It wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth in a rather bedraggled state.

Izayoi burst into laughter at the sight. Although his attack had not won the battle, he had successfully injured the Dark Dragon, and that was enough. Now it was time for his counterattack.

"Hmph, so what if you have a Dragon race talent? Didn’t I still break through your defenses?"

Izayoi snorted and continued charging at the Dark Dragon. The Dark Dragon roared and once again swung its claw at Izayoi’s sword. With a loud bang, Izayoi was sent flying.

I’ll Fight You to the Death

The Dark Dragon continued charging at Izayoi. At this moment, its face held nothing but contempt. "Brat, I thought you were so powerful. Looks like you’re nothing special after all!"

It raised its enormous claw and grabbed at Izayoi. The claw was like a massive axe, carrying the sound of howling wind.

Izayoi’s eyes were full of gravity. This time, he truly felt the pressure, but he did not panic. Instead, he calmly watched the Dark Dragon while silently chanting in his heart, Shield of White Light!

A faint white barrier emerged from Izayoi’s body. These white barriers surrounded him like protective shields, and at the same time, Izayoi’s aura rapidly rose.

When the Dark Dragon’s attack reached the barrier, it suddenly vanished. This did not mean that the barrier had blocked the Dark Dragon’s attack; rather, the barrier had absorbed all the destructive power generated by the Dark Dragon’s attack.

In this situation, the barrier could absorb the attacks on its own, and it could absorb a great deal. Like now, it had absorbed around one-third of it!

"So powerful!" Izayoi looked at the barrier around him and could not help exclaiming. He discovered that he could now absorb even stronger attacks.

At that moment, a strange smile appeared on the Dark Dragon’s face. With one punch, it shattered the barrier and then wildly swung its fists at Izayoi.

When the fists struck Izayoi’s body, the barrier immediately changed shape, turning into a massive shield before him.

Although the Dark Dragon’s attack shattered the shield, it did not harm Izayoi in the slightest.

This shield was the Shield of White Light, created from Izayoi’s mental power. Only Izayoi could shatter it, so the Dark Dragon’s attack had no effect on him at all.

Although the Dark Dragon’s attack could not injure Izayoi, its barrage of attacks still left him struggling. His face was pale and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still did not give up fighting.

"Hmph, brat, your defense is pretty impressive, isn’t it?" the Dark Dragon mocked, then blasted toward Izayoi again.

Soon, Izayoi’s body was covered in blood. His shield had long since shattered, and he was now enduring the Dark Dragon’s attacks.

Izayoi gritted his teeth. He knew that if he failed again this time, he would truly perish here.

I’m going all out! Izayoi shouted inwardly, determination gleaming in his eyes. This time, he would never retreat again.

The muscles across his body began to swell, and the clothes on his body burst apart. Azure armor covered Izayoi’s body, making him seem like a towering mountain.

The azure-armored hand clenched into a fist and smashed fiercely toward the Dark Dragon’s head.

Bang!

The two fists collided, producing a dull sound. Then an immensely powerful recoil surged into Izayoi, making both his arms go numb.

"Roar, roar, roar!" The Dark Dragon let out enraged howls, but this did not affect Izayoi in the slightest. Instead, madness gleamed in Izayoi’s eyes.

"Again!" Izayoi charged forward once more and fought the Dark Dragon. With a full-power sword strike, he stabbed the Dark Dragon and wounded it.

"Super Sword Whirlwind!" Izayoi unleashed this powerful move. The fierce sword energy directly blasted a massive hole through the Dark Dragon’s body, and the Dark Dragon fell to the ground and died.

Heavenly Light Sanction

Sweat poured down the magician’s face. He was utterly shocked, never expecting his precious Dark Dragon to be killed by Izayoi. "Brat, you killed my Dark Dragon! I’ll fight you to the death!" The magician charged desperately at Izayoi.

Izayoi did not care about the magician attacking him. After all, he was no longer the same as before, and his strength had greatly increased.

"You should save your effort. I don’t think you’re my opponent. Get lost already!"

Izayoi put on an arrogant, overbearing manner, looking extremely cocky.

The magician was furious upon hearing this. "Then taste my Super Magic!"

A stream of pitch-black energy emerged around the magician’s body. He was about to use Dark Magic.

"Interesting. In that case, I’ll use Light Magic!" Izayoi burst into laughter.

Light Magic and Dark Magic both belonged to the magic system, and there was no connection between them.

However, they possessed similar traits. Light Magic had a suppressive effect on Dark Magic and could purify evil.

As soon as Izayoi finished speaking, a white light suddenly lit up in the sky. Then an enormous net of light descended from above, directly shrouding the entire forest and continuing to spread.

When the magician saw Izayoi use Light Magic, he was greatly shocked. He had not expected Izayoi to possess such powerful magic resistance. As expected of a genius youth!

But his surprise vanished in an instant. He knew he had to deal with the person before him as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if Izayoi escaped, he would be in trouble.
